Dave the Scottish nutter Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/8198603.stm F*cking disgrace. I know he has terminal cancer but this man still cost over 200 lives, he should of been giving the death penalty for that, isn't the whole purpose of a life sentence is the convict to die and spend the rest of his life there? He will die eventually, but dying a free man will certainly digust a number of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeperRed Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I hope wherever he goes people find out and isolate him so he dies a very slow painful death with no around him. That or some guy beats him to death with a 2 by 4. Killing 200 people is not the kind of crime that should go unpunished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Britain's been showing some compassion for dying criminals lately, first Ronnie Biggs and now this guy. Personally, I think they both should have died in prison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshyft Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I thought that was... y'know, the point of being imprisoned for life. Sure, provide an acceptable amount of care so that the inmate doesn't suffer cruelly and unusually, but let the f*cker die in the prison hospital. You shouldn't be able to 'call in sick' to prison.

Fnorg Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 lol, 27 years in jail minimum. Weak, Britain, weak. Under no circumstances should a man like him be let out, in his case it's not a matter of rehabilitation, it's a matter of punishment. Remember the good old days, Europe? We've gone weak.

Black-hawk Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah but acts like these show the criminals in particular that people can be compassionate. What's done is done, no changing that. It's not like if he's going to get released people will treat him as a normal citizen. Also, he will be looked down upon, made fun of and generally be hated by the general public of the area that he might reside in before he dies. I believe it's an even stricter mode of punishment. In jail he's all comfy with his criminal buds. Outside? It takes getting used to. The world has changed, people around him have changed. Prison for that guy is like a certain sanctuary, where as outside it's gonna be hell. Anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Just another thing Britain is doing to show that it can't be hard on the law when it comes things like this. Hell I don't know why they even bother giving people long sentences because they only serve half of them because of 'good behavior' they show. f*cking ridiculous.

Tobias Fünke Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 So he is about to die and they all of a sudden let him go? Doesn't that pretty much ruin the idea of a life sentence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Tony Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 released on compassionate grounds? He didn't show compassion to the hundreds of people he killed so why should any compassion be showed towards him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Zilcho Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I don't think I have to particularly add much to what you've all been saying. These "compassionate" grounds sound like some excuse to free up space in the prisons by letting monstrosities of human beings free again. Its not that he'll re offend, its that he hasn't had his life taken for the lives he took; he's been effectively released early. Terminal cancer? What about terminal bombing? Much worse isn't it.

General Goose Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Ronnie Biggs was one thing, but this is in a completely different league. Too soft on incarcerated terrorists, the government is. IMO, they are some of the only people who deserve no human rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtathebest4ever Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 sorry, i just have to say this is awesome. on topic: i really never understood life in prison. you put them in prison and then you have to pay for their food and everything. that sucks. i always thought death should be an option in cases like this one.

JayC Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 His appeal is meant to be quite strong. Guy might actually be innocent. Then it goes from one disgrace to another. The idea he has been locked up as an innocent man and the real bomber is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suction Testicle Man Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I'm not settling on any side of the fair/unfair argument since I don't believe we have enough information available to us - reading some news reports doesn't really parallel with actually knowing the full details of the trial and evidence. I do think there is a chance there is more to this story, considering Libya's involvement and other odd circumstances surrounding the trial. I feel that the greater public's desperate lust for blood following any tragedy (and blind ignorance of information not available to them) completely degrades any capacity for rational thinking 'the masses' could earn; and urges our justice system to deliver blood like it's saturday night feel-good entertainment. Bleh, feels like only yesterday we were burning witches. If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3minty3 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I do believe that he should be treated but I dont believe he should be released. They should implement a cross between a prison and hospital that way everyone is happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayC Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 During the Great Train Robbery a man was beaten and later died of his injuries. I don't see why he deserved to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeperRed Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 He has cancer, there's a good chance he'll die anyway. Yeah but the fact is he dies a free man. A right he lost when he slaughtered 200 innocent people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seachmall Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think it's highly unlikely he'll be killing more people and keeping him in prison when he poses no threat to others is wasting tax payers money. Let him go, let him die. Efficiency is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgey. Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Personally i believe he should be kept in prison wheter he has terminal cancer or not he still cost over 200 lives. Thats the problem we have here we are too soft on criminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarz Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It's a blinding disgrace. I didn't think I'd see the day when the UK start showing compassion for terrorists, but then I guess that's just the ridiculous sort of nation we've become. Still, at least he won't have very long to enjoy his freedom. The estimates are he has about three months to live. --- AMF --- -= A joke is a very serious thing - Winston Churchill =- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machida Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 The majority of deaths were American, 3minty3. It's a f*cking stupid decision. I can only the think that the thinking behind it was that his conviction was unsafe, but even so, let him go through the proper appeals and if he's found innocent, then there you go- no need for any daft decisions. Watching MacAskill trying to rally up nationalism during the release press conference was just downright bile worthy. "In Scotland we are a people who pride ourselves on our humanity." No we f*cking don't. We'll heedbutt you to death for a bit of scag and small change! Bloody moron. Awful decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
